ALP internal network

Factional relationships that move caucus votes, preselections, and ministry deals.

NSW Right ↔ QLD Right

Chalmers, Marles, and QLD Right share economic and security hawkishness; often align against Victorian Left on climate and industrial relations detail.

Victorian Socialist Left

Allan state network links to federal Left on social policy; tension with Right on AUKUS and stage 3 tax style issues.

Union peak ↔ faction secretaries

ACTU-affiliated unions still channel preselection numbers to Right in NSW/QLD and Left in VIC. Disputes over CFMEU or other affiliates = early signal of factional realignment — log in event log.

PM ↔ Treasurer

Albanese and Chalmers: cooperative public face; watch private friction on spending vs consolidation.

State premiers ↔ federal Right

Minns (NSW Right) and Malinauskas (SA Right) are allies of federal Right on pragmatic governance; Allan (VIC Left) is more distant — shapes National Cabinet fights.

Update rule

Quarterly, or after National Conference / leadership spill.
